Sinking Into Painting
Brooch with crescent moon button made by Mousy Brown's House.
I’ve dedicated this week to working on a series of digital paintings based on sketches and ideas that have been evolving the past few months. Now the time is right for working on them, I’m giving the project time and space and I feel full of creative energy! Isn’t it easy to forget that there are cycles to creativity?
In the meanwhile the ground is still covered with slowly melting ice and snow which tricked me into forgetting that it’s Easter next week! Spring is on its way, and soon it’s time to put together the Spring Edition for members of Club Marmalade Moon.
Speaking of Easter, if you’re looking for a fun crafting project for a beautiful Easter decoration, friendly, clever and crafty Mousy Brown’s House has just the thing! This is also the source of the extraordinary gorgeous purple and gold brooch (in the photo above) that I’m the proud owner of. Notice the vintage button with a crescent moon? What amazing, thoughtful and creative attention to details!
Now I’ll sink back into painting.

And I suppose I am ready to move on to a new wallpaper. I’ll gladly say goodbye to the beloved snow day at this point. I’m ready for the spring installment!
Happy painting :) !
Hi Kate. Glad you are full of creative energy! Enjoy working on your digital paintings. The brooch is great and so fitting! I hope the snow and ice are gone soon. Crocuses are just popping up here this week.

Hi Kate – thank you for your lovely comments and links – it is so kind of you. Enjoy all that creativity – I know exactly what you mean about cycles – sometimes it just all flows with no effort othertimes it can feel like a battle – it is such a wonderful feeling when it all comes together, keep making the most of it!

I’m very often inspired by Emily and all the things she has going on over at Mousy Brown. I’m very excited about your new painting. I love spring and the energy it brings. Happy thawing out. I hope some warmth comes to you soon.
Hi, Kate! LOVE that brooch! It is sooo pretty…*swoon*… That actually gives me an idea for something. :o) Speaking of ideas, I just love that you’re sailing along some very happy creative days just now–don’t you love that rush?! I will be excited to hear/see more about your creative painting and all you’ve been working on. It is melting here too–at last… still wishing the sun felt a little warmer…LOL!… but soon! ;o) Happy Weekend, my friend ((BIG HUGS))
Hello everyone and thank you for your comments! Yes, I agree, the brooch from Mousy Brown’s House is so beautiful!
About cycles of creativity, I’ve been thinking that since I started taking a lot of photos (that started about two years ago when I got my iPhone) I’ve noticed that I’ve found a certain assurance or a kind of confidence, from being able to SEE that I’m in the creative process even when I’m not actively painting or designing. The sketches, the photos of things that inspire me show me that the process has been going on… even at times when it’s felt like I had no time for my creativity.
Hi Kate, I’m so happy to read that you’re on a creative wave!! And how wonderful that its co-coinciding with the onset of Spring! I love Mousy’s brooch and the fact that it has a vintage moon button, how thoughtful!! Thanks for the reminder about your Club too. I kept meaning to join but somehow didn’t, but now I definitely will! :)))
